George R. R. Martin Quotes
I think in television and film, it's not usually the child's point of view. It's the story of an adult. If there's a child in a drama or an action-adventure movie, they're someone who needs to be saved, someone who needs to be protected, or if they're killed, someone who needs to be avenged. Their character doesn't matter much.

The reason it's called 'The Heart of Robin Hood' is that he starts off not having a heart - or certainly not being in contact with it.
